Founder of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), a Christian Zionist lobbying group created last year, Hagee is also the author of a number of Christian-themed novels, as well as the recent Jerusalem Countdown: A Warning to the World, which maintains that biblical prophecy is currently playing itself out in the Middle East.
"The end of the world as we know it is rapidly approaching," Hagee wrote in Jerusalem Countdown. "Just before us is a nuclear countdown with Iran followed by Ezekiel's war (as described in Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39), and then the final battle – the battle of Armageddon."
In a recent series of articles focused on Hagee, Talk to Action's Bruce Wilson described him as someone that "has built a career on aggressive support for hard right to fringe right Israeli politics and is now making inroads towards convincing the mainstream American Jewish community that he and CUFI are the best tactical allies Jews and Israel can expect to find."[1]
